Novak Djokovic chases 25th Grand Slam title at US Open
Novak Djokovic enters the 2026 US Open seeking a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam singles title. The 39-year-old Serbian, seeded fourth, is making his 20th appearance at the tournament, joining an elite group of players including Jimmy Connors and Andre Agassi.
Djokovic noted that his recent early exit at the Cincinnati Open provided him with extra time to prepare both physically and mentally for the New York tournament. He is scheduled to face Argentina’s Mariano Navone in the opening round at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
During his match against Navone, Djokovic faced physical difficulties attributed to high humidity, including requiring medical attention and experiencing vomiting during the third set. Despite these challenges, he remains focused on his goal of longevity and extending his professional career.
